Vishnu is particularly associated with light and especially with the Sun. Whenever Sun is mentioned, it should be understood as the visual conscience in the sky. We know how important that is for Mother Earth. The real Vishnu conscience shines trillion times brighter than our sun.
Vishnu is represented with a human body, often with blue colored skin and with four arms. His hands always carry four objects in them, representing the things he is responsible for. The objects symbolize many more meanings than are presented here:
- The conch: the sound this produces 'Om', represents the primeval sound of creation
- The chakra, or discus: symbolises the mind
- The lotus flower: an example of glorious existence and liberation
- The mace: represents mental and physical strength
Vishnu is usually represented in two positions.
- Standing upright on a lotus flower with Lakshmi his consort, close by him
- Reclining on the coils of a serpent, with Lakshmi massaging his feet. They are surrounded by the Milky Ocean.
- Vishnu rides on the King of Birds, Garuda, who is an eagle.
Krishna consciousness means an awareness of and affection for the Supreme Person, Krishna. It is the culmination of all forms of yoga, knowledge, meditation, and spirituality. Krishna consciousness is the natural, original, and blissful condition of every individual. Only when we're covered by Maya, illusion, do we forget who we are and who the Supreme Person is. We want happiness, but without Krishna consciousness, we don't know who we are or what we're supposed to do. We try to enjoy life through the body and mind, with hit-or-miss results. And we fear death since we don't know what happens afterwards.
The practices of Krishna consciousness, or bhakti-yoga, are meant to free us from the root cause of all anxiety by reawakening our normal, eternal spiritual happiness. The process is simple—meditation on the name, form, activities, and qualities of Krishna. Krishna is the name for the Supreme Person, the source of our existence and the source of all pleasure. He's known by different names in different cultures, but all genuine spiritual traditions agree that there's only one Supreme God. The goal of bhakti-yoga is to recover our natural sense of connectedness (yoga) with that one supreme God by serving Him with love (bhakti).
Understanding the key differences of these two will make so many things that explained in scriptures very clear. Comprehending them will lead you to higher realms or divine world experiences.

- Vishnu eternal avatar, Krishna is earthly avatar
- Vishnu provides you Amrutham, Krishna provides Aanandam
- Maha Vishnu is in yoga nidra, Krishna is in his bhaktha’s heart.

Vishnu and Krishna never born on earth, but in you. My guru is Vishnu and best friend is Krishna. The light is descending on me.
